Seeing this, Yang Qingshi's face paled in fright.
He knew better than anyone else how powerful his master, Patriarch Xue Pao, was. Even if it was just a clone of Patriarch Xue Pao, it was comparable to a fifth-order beast. Moreover, it was a fifth-order beast that knew spells and was almost immortal.
Once upon a time, Patriarch Xue had relied on his clone to paralyze an intermediate country. That level of prowess wasn't something a human could achieve, which was why Yang Qingshi was so loyal to Patriarch Xue.
In his eyes, his master, the Blood Ancestor, was invincible.
But today, someone had severed one of Patriarch Xue's clone's arms. This was the same as pulling off the pants of a devout believer.
Shock, shock, and disbelief!
"That's impossible!" Yang Qingshi's voice trembled. However, the two combatants were too busy fighting to care about him.
While it seemed like Lin Jin had severed his opponent's arm, in reality, Lin Jin was the one who was in the most danger. If he had made a mistake, he would have been the one to die.
Lin Jin was in grave danger and Patriarch Xue Pao was once again shocked by Lin Jin's skills.
"There's only Sword Intent but no Sword Energy. But Sword Intent can only harm the psyche. How could it really sever an arm?" Patriarch Xue Pao mumbled to himself. He was confident and arrogant, believing himself to be knowledgeable and powerful.
But now, he discovered a truth, albeit reluctantly.
There was something else he didn't know.
At the very least, he couldn't figure out how Lin Jin managed to sever his arm with Sword Intent.
However, Patriarch Xue Pao was an expert after all. It only took him a moment to figure it out.
"I was almost fooled by you. The Sword Intent is in the light while the Cloud Blade is in the dark. Young one, your trick isn't too shabby. But it's a pity that this clone of mine is immortal. Forget severed arms, even if you cut off my head, my clone wouldn't die."
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin was inwardly shocked, thinking that this man was indeed impressive. He had spent so much time and effort to master this technique, but his opponent managed to see through it so quickly. With this, today's battle was bound to be dangerous.
Without another word, Lin Jin launched an attack.
He flicked dozens of silver needles at Patriarch Xue Pao from different directions. Patriarch Xue Pao had no intention of dodging. With his immortal body, he was unafraid of any attack.
But silver needles were different.
Most of the time, Lin Jin's needles weren't used to kill enemies. Instead, they were used for scouting. As long as there was a beast's aura, it could be detected. Moreover, besides human blood, Blood Ancestor's clone also used a lot of beast blood.
Hence, the moment the needle was inserted, Lin Jin knew the clone's condition.
"Blood Refined Beast, Lower Grade Five, Chaos Element."
"Objects condensed from magical power are like walking corpses, fearless of pain, impervious to water and fire, and indestructible as long as magical power is not exhausted, their bodies are indestructible."
"There are three ways to advance, which are …"
"There are five ways to break it, which are …"
Lin Jin calmed down when he saw the information displayed in the museum.
In a battle between two sides, the biggest taboo was to fight randomly without knowing anything. That would be missing the point. At the very least, it was necessary to know oneself and the enemy.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's enemy also had different levels.
Some relied on experience and common sense, while others relied on intelligence and probing. On the other hand, Lin Jin had the Museum of Deadly Beasts so he was able to get to know his enemies in one go.
After probing with his silver needles, Lin Jin found out the weakness of this' blood refined beast '. Not only that, there was more than one weakness.
Speaking of which, other than the old dragon, this was Lin Jin's second Rank 5 pet beast. Hence, even if he knew its weakness, he still had to be careful.
"Young one, don't try to be mysterious," Patriarch Xue Pao said. He was responding to the needles that pierced his body. Having said that, his feet began sucking in the blood around him, and his severed arm grew back.
It was indeed an immortal body.
"Die!" Patriarch Xue Pao pounced at Lin Jin. As he swung his claws, he followed up with another attack. Regardless of whether Lin Jin dodged, blocked, or fought back, the blood refined beast's steel-whip-like tail would come swinging at him. This tail was as tough as steel and extremely fast. If Lin Jin was hit, he would surely die.
Previously, many soldiers and their ferocious beasts had died under this whip.
Against a Rank 5 blood refined beast, even if it was a low-grade one, Lin Jin would still be at a disadvantage if he fought with his own body. The creature was immortal while Lin Jin was made of flesh and blood. Be it the claws or the tail, if he were to take a hit, Lin Jin would have to report to the King of Hell. Hence, merging with his beast was no longer a good idea.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Huo flew out from Lin Jin's arm and enlarged into his giant wolf form, ready to fight the blood refined beast.
Lin Jin quickly took a few steps back to avoid getting caught up in the battle. While he did so, he cast three spells on Xiao Huo.
'Bloodlust ',' Berserk ', and' Fire Spirit Possession '.
They were all enhancement spells for pet beasts. Lin Jin's ability to cast three at the same time was remarkable. After all, regular cultivators or beast appraisers wouldn't be able to do something like this. Even if they could, their spirit energy levels were far from sufficient.
Lin Jin was different. Ever since he started cultivating, his spirit energy level had already exceeded a hundred stones and it was still increasing. Now, it was close to two hundred stones.
Hence, it was enough for him to cast spells continuously.
Roar!
Waves of energy exploded from Xiao Huo's body. Under the Dharma body and Fire Spirit Possession, Xiao Huo looked like a giant flaming wolf. With one howl, the surrounding buildings spontaneously combusted and collapsed.
"Upper Rank 4!" Patriarch Xue Pao's eyes widened. "But so what? A Rank 4 is just a Rank 4."
Possessing Rank 5 strength, Patriarch Xue Pao's blood refined beast launched a frenzied attack. In an instant, the two beasts clashed and the garden was reduced to rubble.
One had an undying body, while the other had a Yin Yang Dharma Body. As they fought, flames flew in all directions, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. There was not a single intact house in the Assistant Minister's residence. If not for the Nebula Barrier Technique's confinement boundary, the damage would have been even greater.
Lin Jin took out an intermediate spirit stone and used a spell to absorb the spirit energy.
Since this was a battle of life and death, Lin Jin had to use whatever he needed. He couldn't afford to be stingy. Casting the Nebula Barrier and the Sword Intent Cloud Blade had consumed a lot of spirit energy. Then, he cast the enhancement spell on Xiao Huo, which almost depleted all of Lin Jin's spirit energy. He had to replenish it now or else victory would be impossible.
Among all the enemies Lin Jin had encountered, Patriarch Xue Pao was definitely the best so he couldn't afford to be careless. Moreover, Lin Jin had no choice but to release Xiao Huo earlier. After all, with Xiao Huo's Beastmaster Scroll around, Lin Jin's strength would increase as well. Now that Xiao Huo was out of his body, Lin Jin would be in danger if he was ambushed.
Instead of Patriarch Xue Pao, Lin Jin had to be wary of Yang Qingshi.
The creature had been lurking in the dark, probably planning to launch a sneak attack during the chaos. Lin Jin was truly afraid of this. Later on, he would cast a spell to try and break the blood refined beast's mana. Otherwise, even if he were to cut this beast into pieces and burn it into energy, it would still be able to regenerate itself.
